It offers flexible length of holiday.B. It was set up by an experienced farmer.C. It focuses on farming in different ways.D. It is an organization to help people in need.5.What could we do as a WWOOF volunteer?______A. Enjoy urban scenery.B. Do some farm-related work.C. Raise animals for money.D. Work on the farm remotely.6.Why did Sue Coppard set up WWOOF?______A. She was interested in organic farming.B. She felt lonely every now and then.C. She was tired of being a secretary.D. She loved to get close to nature.7.What is the main purpose of the text?______A. To promote organic farming.B. To share experiences about farming.C. To introduce a new way of spending vacation.D. To advertise cultural and educational exchange.CIn 1950,less than 1 percent of the UK population was too fat.Today,that figure stands at 28 percent.How did this happen?Did the British public suffer an extremely large breakdown of willpower?Of course not.Humans haven't changed.The food system has.Many people find it hard to imagine that a food "system" really exists,not to mention that it could be shaping their own eating habits.Let's start with one important element:the human appetite (食欲).Biologically,we are still hunter-gatherers.If you have to search for your food,it makes sense to prioritize things that will give you more calories (卡路里) than you use.When we eat sweet,fatty foods,our bodies respond with great pleasure to reward us for finding such a source of energy.It used to be hard work to find this kind of food.But in the second half of the 20th century,new methods of farming and producing greatly increased global food production.Since this "green revolution" in agriculture,food with high calories has become so cheap and it is hard to avoid eating panies put much money into developing and promoting food made from these ingredients (成分).They trap us in food like biscuits and cakes,knowing we find it attractive.This kind of food contains little water or fibre,so it takes longer for us to feel full.As a result,we eat more of it and,because each mouthful is full of calories,it makes us fat and ill. There are,however,two ways to escape this trap.The first is to rebalance the financial encouragement in the system.The second is to target human biology.A new kind of weight-loss drug is proving effective at controlling our increased appetite.Such drugs can be a godsend for the extremely fat.However,it is the food system that is making us ill,and it is the food system that needs curing.8.What can you learn from Paragraph 1?______A. The British are losing their willpower.B. Humans have never changed since 1950.C. Britain's population has been changing.D. A growing number of British are overweight.9.What does the underlined word "prioritize" probably mean in Paragraph 2?______A. PreferB. RememberC. PlantD. Avoid10.What has made food with high calories cheaply available?______A. The effort of food companies.B. The good taste of sweet and fatty foods.C. The application of new means of farming and producing.D. The drive to change the supply and demand of green agriculture.11.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?______A. Less fatty foods have been produced.B. The food system needs to be changed.C. People's increased appetite has been cured.D. The weight-loss drug has changed human biology.DLately,there has been a lot of discussion among parents,educators,and within the community that reading is a lost art.We hear people crying that books are dead or that technology is changing how we get ourinformation.Thankfully,however,book sales are rebounding(回升) and literature is far from dead.That's great news,because science has proven that there are many ways that reading is beneficial to our lives and brain development.The benefits of reading range anywhere from reducing stress,to developing our brains,to improving memory,and helping increase emotional intelligence.For parents,this is especially important to note,because empathy (共情) is among the five most important skills for success for people living in a digital and global economy.Our kids,who are digital natives,are going to be required to explore a world that requires them to have emotional intelligence to succeed.In addition to helping children develop critical thinking and writing skills,research has long been telling us that reading fiction can develop empathy and emotional intelligence.Surprisingly,the actual art of reading isn't capable of producing this surprising reaction.Children don't develop emotional understanding by focusing on mechanics.Instead,there is hard evidence that reading literary fiction improves emotional intelligence.Stories allow readers to bury themselves in the life of another person and see the world through their eyes.This has always been a good way to broaden a child's outlook,but now we actually have the research and science to say it makes us more empathetic.For example,studies published before uncovered that participants who read literature with strong characters showed higher levels of empathy and emotional intelligence by being able to "feel" the characters.The subjects of these studies were better able to understand others by empathizing with characters and viewing the world in their different ways.12.What does the author mainly want to tell us in Paragraph 1?______A. Reading is a lost art.B. Reading has a great influence on us.C. Book sales are going up again.D. Technology leads to the death of books.13.What benefit do children get from reading?______A. Succeeding in their career.B. Bringing back their memories.C. Gaining popularity in the digital world.D. Enabling them to be emotionally intelligent.14.What evidence shows reading literary fiction improves emotional intelligence?______A. The change of the readers' values.B. The readers' devotion to reading stories.C. The development of the readers' critical thinking skills.D. The readers' ability to understand the characters in stories.15.What is a suitable title for the text?______A. Why Reading Will Never DieB. How Children Develop Good Reading HabitsC. How Reading Improves Emotional IntelligenceD. What Parents Can Do to Improve Kids' Emotional Intelligence二、阅读七选五:本大题共5小题,共12.5分。

2020-2021学年河北省邯郸市高一(下)期末英语试卷一、阅读理解(本大题共15小题,共37.5分)AAmusement Parks in North America Disneyland ParkLocation:Disneyland Resort,Anaheim,California,USAThe first theme park built in the Anaheim Disneyland Resort,the Disneyland Park was opened in 1955.This Californian park brings us eight different lands of adventure and fun.This is the right place to meet Disney princes,princesses,and go on themed(主题的)adventure rides. Disney's Hollywood StudiosLocation:Walt Disney World Resort,Lake Buena Vista,Florida,USADisney's Hollywood Studios is where the magic of movies comes together with exciting rides and entertainment(娱乐).The theme park opened up in May 1989.The park is divided into six zones,of which Pixar Place,and Animation Courtyard are favorites.Universal Studios FloridaLocation:Universal Orlando Resort,Orlando,Florida,USABased on some of the best-loved movies,this fun and adventure theme park by Universal Studios opened up to the public in June 1990.The greatest attraction of this park is "the Wizarding World of Harry Potter",which is a favorite with both kids and adults.It is also well-known for its yearly celebrations and Hollywood theme rides.Islands of AdventureLocation:Universal Orlando Resort,Orlando,Florida,USAThe Islands of Adventure opened up in May 1999.This theme park is divided into seven different themes.Marvel Super Hero Island,Jurassic Park,and Seuss Landing are among the most popular islands of the park.Apart from the exciting rides,the restaurants here are also themed on myths(神话)and legends.1.Which park will you choose if you are a fan of Harry Potter?______A.

They offer some exciting rides.C. They are designed for children.D. They opened in the same year.BIs there someone that has always been there for you and supports you in times of need?For many people,their parents are the first ones that come to mind.Our parents are often the first and biggest sources of love and support.You may not have thought about it much,but parents often sacrifice(牺牲)a lot to be able to provide so much for their children.For example,many parents have given up their dreams to make sure they could provide for their children.Whether it is their time,money orenergy,parents often do whatever it takes to make sure they give their children the best they can offer.Just take a look at Canadian-American actor Jim Carrey.Although he is a famous comedian(喜剧演员)and has been in dozens of movies,he still takes the time to appreciate the sacrifices his parents made to make sure he could make his dreams a reality. "My father could have been a great comedian,but he didn't believe that was possible for him,so instead he got a job as a salesman," Carrey said in a video posted by Daily Mail. "When I was 12 years old,he was let go from that safe job.Our family had to do whatever we could to survive." At the time,Carrey understood his father's sacrifice.What are some things that you've noticed that your parents or loved ones have done to support you and your dreams?What are some things that you've done to help someone else in return?It's important to take some time to reflect upon the positive impact people have had on your life.So,if you realize that someone has helped you in a big—or even a little—way,be sure to let them know.I'm sure they will be happy to know that they have made the world a brighter place.4.What does the author say about parents?______A. They hardly enjoy their lives.B. They try their best to earn money.C. They work hard for their own dreams.D.

To take a positive attitude towards our life.B. To realize the importance of sharing our thoughts.C. To work together to make the world a brighter place.D. To express our appreciation to those who have helped us.CThose who are already exhausted by 2021—and well,all of 2020—can get some relief by calling a hotline and screaming."Just Scream!" a hotline created by elementary school teacher Chris Gollmar,aims to reduce tension for those needing to release their feelings.All you have to do is call the hotline and scream as loud as you want,and for as long as you want—and then hang up."I wanted to find a way that people would respond to and screaming seemed to be a good fit!" Gollmar spoke of his creative project,which he came up with in September 2020.He said he thought it would be funny and unique to create a phone line just for screaming.After people dial in,their calls are recorded and put on the website Gollmar created. "Why should I call you?" the website asks. "To scream!You might be unhappy,terrified,or frustrated.All of these are perfectly good reasons to call and record yourself screaming."Personal phone numbers are not stored,and all calls go to an answering machine—socommunicating with a real person isn't required.According to the website,there is currently a backlog(积压)of over 40,000 screams waiting to upload.Gollmar said he's gotten 70,000 recordings since starting the hotline."Never in my life would I have expected so many people to actually pick up the phone,dial a number and record themselves for the world to hear," he said. "But we're all screaming on the inside right now,so I guess I should have figured."8.What is the purpose of the hotline according to Chris Gollmar?______A. To release stress.B. To offer advice.C. To train teachers.D. To record sound.9.What do we know about the hotline?______A. It's rather difficult to use.B. It's getting more and more popular.C. It has access to personal information.D. It's available to a limited number of people.10.What does the underlined phrase "screaming on the inside" in the last paragraph refer to?______A. Facing pressure.B. Sharing feelings.C. Expressing anger.D. Keeping secrets.11.Where is the text most likely from?______A. A novel.B. A newspaper.C. A guidebook.D. A diary.DDoctors have long known that diet and exercise are the best ways to stay healthy.But few people get enough exercise.Only 20% of Americans get the recommended 150 minutes of physical activity per week.More than 80 million Americans over age 6 are entirely inactive.People leading a sedentary(久坐的)life pay a price.They are at higher risk for serious health problems.These include heart disease and cancer.Health experts want people to know about the benefits of exercise.They believe it can lead to slower aging,better moods,stronger vision—the list goes on.This year,the U.S.National Institutes of Health (NIH)is starting a major study.It will record in detail what happens inside a body in motion(运动).Through its research,the NIH hopes to prove scientifically that exercise is good medicine.The project will run for six years.A group of about 3,000 sedentary people will take part in theproject.They will range from 11-year-olds to the elderly.The group will begin an exercise program.Their blood,fat,and muscle will be studied before and after each workout.Scientists will look for clues to how the body changes with physical activity.A group that doesn't exercise will also be tracked.Experts will compare the two groups.Studies show that many positive changes happen in the body during and after a workout.One of the best pieces of news is that much of what we already do counts as physical activity. "Sweeping the floor,watering the plants,washing the car—all that is exercise," says Jack Berryman.He is a retired professor of medical history at Washington University School of Medicine,in Seattle. "Physical activity includes all movement,not just throwing a ball through a basket."Bamman hopes the NIH study will help doctors give each of their patients a detailed workout plan.In the meantime,here is a prescription(处方)for good health:Get active!12.What's the main idea of the first paragraph?______A. Few people know the benefits of exercise.B. Lack of exercise can cause health problems.C. Doctors suggest 150 minutes of weekly exercise.D. People over age 6 are more likely to get serious disease.13.How is the study by NHI conducted?______A. By doing a survey.B. By making interviews.C. By making predictions.D. By making comparison.14.What can we infer about exercise according to Jack Berryman?______A. It refers to doing sports.B. It can replace medicine.C. It includes doing housework.D. It needs professional training.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?______A. The Best MedicineB. The Price of LazinessC. Choose Your Favorite ExerciseD. Balance Your Diet and Exercise二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共12.5分)Putting Together the Best Cooking can be a great hobby.You can follow ready-made recipes (食谱),or you can create your own recipes based on your own interests.

The ice-creams would be nice with the cake.M: Good idea!(Text 2)W: Michael, did you have a good holiday?M: No, not really. The weather was bad. It rained non-stop for three days. Next year I’ll go somewhere warm like Spain!(Text 3)W: Brian. First, you walk the dog in the morning before breakfast and clean your room before you go to school. In the evening you water the plants …M: Housework in the evening too, Mum? It’s unfair.(Text 4)M: The bus is late again, isn’t it?W: Yes, it is. Honestly, I’ve been late for work three times this week because of taking the bus. (Text 5)W: I don’t see any fresh food here.M: Yeah, but there’s lots of fat and sugar though. It’s terrible.W: Why is the food in the school canteen always so bad?M: I don’t know. I haven’t seen a good health food place near here, have you?(Text 6)M: How many customers have we got in today?W: Er … 6.M: 6? Is that all? I bet The Angel has more than 6 customers.W: Yes, it’s full. I walked past a few minutes ago. There were people waiting outside.M: Oh, dear.

I just went to stores that was Spanish, and I watched a lot of Spanish-language TV. My friends were all from Mexico. I only kept in touch with people from my country even though, you know, I didn’t h ave anything in common with them, really. I mean, I didn’t even like some of the people I spent time with. It was just that, uh, we were all from the same culture. Back in Mexico we probably never would have been friends.Anyway, I was unhappy and angry for a long, long time. Finally, after about ten years, I went back to Mexico. But it wasn’t really my home anymore. So after only one month, I turned around and came back here to the States. This is my home now. I’m here for good.。

Along the way he had completely run out of(用光了...)money and was forced to spend the night in his car. This continued until one morning, after a week of sleeping in his car, he walked nervously into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast.After eating his first good meal in weeks, he found himself lying to the waiter, telling him he had lost his wallet. The waiter, who was also the owner, walked behind the chair where the young man had been sitting. He bent down, and came up with a $20 bill that looked as if it had fallen on the floor and said, “Son, you must have dropped this,”the owner said. The young man couldn’t believe his luck! He quickly paid for the breakfast, left a tip, bought gas with the change, and headed West.On the way out of town, he began to understand what the owner did. Maybe nobody dropped the money at all.“Maybe that fellow just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didn’t embarrass(使尴尬)me. So I just made a promise t o help other people if I can.”Later, he worked very hard and became a rich man. Now he lives near Kansas City. Each year he gives away thousands of dollars. He is known as the “Secret Santa” because at Christmas time each year, he personally hands money out to those on the street and at restaurants. Last year, he gave more than $50,000 away in Kansas City.4.The young man was traveling across the country in 1971 to ______A.look for a good restaurant B.improve his lifeC.show his new car to others D.hand out dollars5.The underline sentence means that the young man got to know that____A.It was very lucky of him to get his lost money back.B.It was very honest of the owner to return his moneyC.the owner helped him in a way that didn’t hurt his feelingD.another person who had breakfast in the restaurant lost the money6.From the end of the passage we can learn that_______A.the man did carry out his promiseB.the man was not successful in the endC.the owner was paid back the moneyD.Santa give the man money each year7.The message of the story is“_______”A.One good turn deserves anotherB.Where there is a will,there is a wayC.He who travels far knows muchD.Give love wings(翅膀) and it may fly higherThe oldest and most common source of renewable energy known to man, biomass (生物质)is one of the most important forms energy production in the United States and elsewhere. Since such a wide variety of biomass materials is everywhere — from trees and grasses to agricultural and city — life wastes —biomass promises to play a continuing role in providing power and heat for millions of people around the world.According to the Union of Concerned Scientists(UCS), biomass is a kind of renewable energy source that produces no carbon dioxide(二氧化碳), because the energy it contains comes from the sun. When plant matter is burned, it gives off the sun’s energy. In this way, biomass serves as a sort of natural battery(电池) for storing the sun’s energy. As long as biomass is produced continuously —with only as much grown as is used—the “battery” lasts forever.According to the Energy Information Administration, biomass has been one of the leading renewable energy sources in the United States for several years running through 2007, making up between 0.5 and 0.9 percent of the nation’s total electricity supply. In 2008-although the numbers aren’t all in yet-wind power probably took over first place because of the rapid development of wind farms across the country.Producing power from biomass helps reduce some 11 million tons of carbon dioxide each year. Some homeowners also try to make their own heat by using biomass materials. Such practice may save homeowner’s money, but it also produces a lot of pollution. So, the best way is to encourage power plants to use it.8.We learn from the text that in 2008 ______.A.Wind power would be the leader of renewable energy.B.there was a rapid growth of electricity productionC.biomass might become the main energy sourceD.0.5~0.9 of power supply came from biomass9.Why does the author encourage power plants to use biomass?A.To prevent the waste of energy.B.To increase production safety.C.To reduce pollution.D.To save money.10.Where does the text probably come from?A.A research plan. B.A science magazineC.A book review. D.A business report.二、七选五Making a Good First ImpressionIt's important to make a good first impression with people. Whether they're a customer or a potential friend, you want them to think highly of you. If they don't, you're not likely to make much progress moving forward. 11.Before you've even opened your mouth, people have already formed an opinion of you based on your body language. With that in mind, it's a good idea to change how you present yourself to ensure you're not giving off a bad atmosphere.♦ It's all in the face.Any honest and fair person is going to be looking at your face when you're talking to them. Of course, that means whatever is going on up there will be picked apart more than anything else you do. 12.In the right circumstances, it will express warmth and show you to be welcoming, something that's unbelievably important for the first impression. Moreover, make sure to keep eye contact as often as possible・It shows that you're focusing on them, especially when they're talking.♦ 13.So many of us close our arms without thinking about it,but that's one of the biggest no-nos when it comes to first impressions. Standing there with your arms folded is going to set you apart from the crowd for all the wrong reasons. 14.This will drive people away from you very quickly and make a poor first impression.♦ Show your interest.15.The wrong movements or positions can signal that you don't care what the other person has to say. Fortunately, there are non-verbal cues (暗示)you can make which will show your interest without going overboard. These include things like leaning forward and giving purposeful nods. Small gestures like this show that you're taking part in the conversation and not invested (投入的)in something happening over their shoulder.A.Open up your body.B.Stand close to others in conversation.C.Show your interest when others are talking.D.However, there's more to the first impression than what you say.E.Body language shows whether you're interested in someone or not.F.It gives people the impression that you're bored and don't want to be there.G.Make sure that you smile as often as possible if it's acceptable in the situation.三、完形填空When Mike Mushaw decided to join the national bone marrow registry (骨髓登记) nearly three years ago, he never really gave it a second thought. After all, he did it only because his college football coach had 16 him and his teammates to register.About six months after the registry, Mushaw got a call. His bone marrow matched a17 in Virginia. Mushaw didn’t know it at the time that his marrow would 18 to a five-month-old girl named Eleanor with a rare 19 .

As the days and weeks passed, her condition had become only more 23 and she would die without the transplant (移植).Still, 24 is sure of the success. At first, Eleanor’s family had only hoped that she would have some improvement from the transplant, enough to 25 a more normal life.26 after a few weeks, the doctors came back with 27 news: Eleanor’s condition hadn’t just 28 —Mushaw’s bone marrow had cured (治愈) her.“She is doing amazing,” the mother says, “ 29 than we ever expected her to be. It was a little surprising just because of how serious her condition was, but it was more of a relief and 30 feeling than anything.”Mushaw didn’t 31 any of this until Eleanor’s parents sent him an e-mail to 32 him for saving her life. “When they told me it was a little girl, I got a little choked up (哽咽),” Mushaw says, “Just to hear that someone so 33 has such a serious disease and her only 34 is in your bone marrow is a heavy 35 .” But he was pleased that his kindness had saved a life and even one small act of kindness can go a long way.16.A.ordered B.encouraged C.employed D.forced 17.A.doctor B.hunter C.performer D.patient18.A.go B.fall C.turn D.float 19.A.wound B.disease C.injury D.hurt 20.A.approached B.explored C.reached D.left 21.A.park B.shop C.cinema D.hospital 22.A.strong B.weak C.false D.ordinary 23.A.curious B.impressive C.serious D.familiar 24.A.nobody B.everybody C.somebody D.anybody 25.A.ruin B.escape C.lead D.attract 26.A.And B.So C.Or D.But 27.A.boring B.astonishing C.frightening D.convincing 28.A.expanded B.reduced C.improved D.failed 29.A.Heavier B.Poorer C.Better D.Worse 30.A.sad B.happy C.angry D.worried 31.A.believe B.research C.understand D.know 32.A.forgive B.warn C.thank D.respect 33.A.young B.old C.gentle D.kind 34.A.thought B.strength C.hope D.weakness 35.A.chat B.feeling C.debt D.award四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
